safari and aol web mail
Okay, don't slam me about having AOL for mail, I do have a reason. If you want to know, I was one of the first on AOL - back in '89 - before it was even called AOL. So my e-mail address there is of sentimental value and it is in so many people's address books and software manufacturer's registrations it would be difficult if not impossible to change it. But, I do not like their AOL Desktop software for mail, there is some bug in it when it comes to replying to mail which causes the dreaded spinning beach ball - taking way too much time to do mail. So I use their web based mail browser mail access...
Now on to my question. Yesterday (6/9/12) when inside a message the delete and action button began to be unresponsive - no mouse/cursor click action. I tried deleting the cache, no good. Restarting Safari the buttons would work for one message, then not. Hovering the cursor over these buttons normally changes to the little hand, but when unresponsive - no little hand.
At the moment I'm installing the OS X Lion 10.7.4 Combo update (booted in another partition) and am also going to reinstall the Safari app from a download. Other than that I can't figure this out. Of note, AOL has been advertising recently of new features coming to AOL Mail, not sure if they were referring to their mail program or to the web based mail. I REALLY prefer the web mail versus the application (AOL Desktop), the features (i.e. the little trash can icon in each mail line makes deleting mail so much faster than check marking and then clicking delete). When one's mail box has almost 200 mails a day everything to speed the daily task of going through it helps.
I will update and let you all know if the combo and reinstall of Safari works (BTW Safari is version 5.1.7)
Thanks for reading - hopefully someone has seen this and knows what's up.
